What is the Air Force's Interest in Spreading These "Predictions"?
US Air Force Material Command email servers have been identified as forwarding the following predictions of one Gerald Celente. Fox Business has picked up the Celente story as well.
"The man who predicted the 1987 stock market crash and the fall of the
Soviet Union is now forecasting revolution in America, food riots and
tax rebellions - all within four years, while cautioning that putting
food on the table will be a more pressing concern than buying Christmas
gifts by 2012.
"Celente says that by 2012 America will become an undeveloped nation,
that there will be a revolution marked by food riots, squatter
rebellions, tax revolts and job marches, and that holidays will be more
about obtaining food, not gifts."
See this article for how Celente makes this stuff up.
